Bloody hell! I got rid of mine because I was getting too old to fight
it. A year's growth was often 6'+, 3/4"+ in diameter, equipped with
some really serious, mildly toxic, thorns. To avoid that, I would have
had to cut it once a month in early summer.

It depends on the soil and aspect - pyracantha can be anything from a
very slow-growing, small shrub up to what I had.
